Verse A Dm Hudson died in Hudson bay, C F The water took his victim's name, Gm F The River's rise told riverside, E To change their names again. (Choral humming) A Dm A stranger walked in through the door, C F Said "All apartments are pre-war", Gm F We laughed and I asked him for his name, E He stayed until the end. A Dm We watched the Germans play the Greeks, C F He marked the 99 year lease, Gm F Our fathers signed which I declined, E To try and comprehend. (Choral humming) Chorus Gm F C F Over and over again are these never-ending visions, Gm F C Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands, Gm F The time has come, C Dm The clock is such a drag, C Dm All you who changed your stripes, Bb F Can wrap me in the flag. Verse A Dm The legendary wooden gate, C F The first established real-estate, Gm F Is lost in time like all the crimes E That won this pleasant land. Chorus Gm F C F Over and over again are these never-ending visions, Gm F C Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands, Gm F The time has come, C Dm The clock is such a drag, C Dm All you who changed your stripes, Bb F Can wrap me in the flag. (Choral humming) Verse A Dm Hudson died in Hudson bay, C F But I was born on Sutton Place, Gm F The rising tide helped me decide, E To change my name again. A Dm Some men tend to linger on, C F And some make haste from Babylon, Gm F Some will roam their ruined home, E Rejoicing... till the end. Chorus Gm F C F Over and over again are these never-ending visions, Gm F C Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands, Gm F The time has come, C Dm The clock is such a drag, C Dm All you who changed your stripes, Bb F Can wrap me in the flag. Gm F The lines are drawn, C Dm The map is such a drag, C Dm All you who changed your stripes, Bb F Can wrap me in the flag. (Choral humming)
